Cate Blacnhett's Stylish Baby Bump

A glowing Cate Blanchett shows off her baby bump in an off-the-shoulder halter dress on Tuesday at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia.

“People often talk about pregnancy as if it’s an illness, don’t they, and the thing is I’m very fortunate to feel disgustingly well,” Cate said.

The mom-to-be was in town for an advanced screening of her new film, the Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There. The screening helped raise funds for the company, which is helping to launch a new ticketing initiative: 20 tickets for $20.

“[My husband Andrew Upton] and I really want to find a way to make cheaper tickets available across all productions and we’ll be looking for a corporate partner to be able to do that in 2008,” Blanchett told The Sunday Telegraph. “I think a lot more people would go if they felt they could afford to go so we’re kicking off the initiative (with Blackbird) and hoping to extend the 20 for $20 idea further. I think generally theatre is very expensive for a lot of people (so hopefully this will) make it available to the wider community and invite new audiences in.” (Blackbird is the controversial play Cate is directing for the STC that explores the taboo of child sex abuse.)

Cate the Great, 38, and her director husband Andrew Upton (pictured) are expecting their third child in April 2008.
